In an interview with ICANA on Tuesday, Firouzi said, "Turkey's new provocative moves clearly prove that the country is thirsty for more influence in the region."

"Ankara's alliance with Western governments has increased the pressure on Syrian Muslim people," he said.

"However, the moves could seriously damage Turkey's image as it continues to serve the interests of the West and its proxies in the region," he concluded.
